Each one of you have access to computers at the various lab sites on campus - especially LACIT (you pay a technology fee each semester for this). So, excuses such as:
-
I don't have a computer at home...
-
My computer broke down, or has a virus...

I couldn't get to LACIT on time...
-
My printer is out of ink...
